9/IX.

Dear friend! We have arrived safely and are staying in Bern. Mother-in-law is well.

She will probably travel to Russia via Genoa - Salonika (or Arkhangelsk)⁵. Your mother should send you money through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so that this money will be paid out here to Mrs. Dvosha Shkllovskaya (Falkenweg, Bern). Then let your mother telegraph to this address that she has sent you such-and-such a sum.

We will write to your mother. I hope that you and all our friends are well. Please write about your health and literary work.

Heartfelt greetings to you and all our friends from the whole family!!

Your Vl. Ulyanov
